I find it so troubling that the most common HN response to this isn't to engage with the ideas or logic behind the concerns, but simply to speculate on the unknowable intentions of those that signed the letter.
We can base our arguments on the unprovable, some specific person's secret intentions, or we engage the their ideas. One is lazy and meaningless, the other actually takes effort.
Then there is this lazy and false equivalency between corporations being interested in market capture and AI risks being exaggerated.
